As far as the community knows, or has discussed anyhow, THC-O acetate requires a reflux of distillate and acetic anhydride inside a boiling flask.

Do you think carbon scrubbing after winterization with acetone would yield good results prior to crystallization? @Shadownaught
hi there Aurio ⌠i want to Crystallize THC O Acetate into pure white crystals ⌠how do i do that when i have already made synthesized THC O acetate? can you share the Materials and methods?
If You are sure thc O acetate solidifys at room temp
I guess pentane 3% by volume cold crash freezer and patience
If not dissolve in butane cold crash in freezer cap and wait

Method of mining hell Yes but are You saying iT is thc-O- acetate diamonds ??
If youâre using a vac oven, what temps and how long do you run it for
I tried method 2 and dissolved bho into acetone and removed enough solvent to make it syrupy and within 3 days I had crystals forming. They are a week in and ive got 10 that are the size of peas, and still growing in a small 150 ml beaker, i am planning on recrystallizing until I canât anymore to see how big of a diamond I can grow. Thanks for posting!

Wanted to share some 1 week old THCA grown using the cold wash method. Theyâre fairly small and need to be rinsed but successful nonetheless.
Edit: cold wash on fresh frozen

Sorry to be picky but:
Epsom salts are the hydrated form of magnesium sulphate. This is not effective at removing water from organic solvents. You need anhydrous MgSO4. Using MgSO4 to absorb water is nearly instantaneous, so you can filter pretty much right away. You know youâve added enough when the white solids flow freely when you shake the flask like a snow globe.
Other than that this is bang on how to dry wet acetone.
AAAaaaand I just realized Iâm replying to a post thatâs about a year old. facepalm

Well thatâs how good threads get life again! 
Donât no the post your replying too but you dehydrate by heating in oven at 400c for a half hour. Itâs really easy

Does anyone have insight on crashing THCa out of low temp ethanol extracted, winterized hemp crude? If I understand correctly, THCa will crystalize before CBDa⌠but is there a saturation rate necessary for the THCa to crystalize? Thatâs what i would assume. It would need to be greater than 40-60% THCa, right? 8% wouldnât likely crash out? Maybe with the right solvent/temp/pressure/timing???
Iâm curious for obvious reasons.

Nope won t work need a saturation of at least 60% for cristalization to ocure

Yeah does not sound like it would crash out at that low concentration. You sure itâs THC-a?
That is only partially correct. In a binary solvent system I have observed low potency crude crystallizing. My understanding is that there are 2 solutions in one mother liquor. the most non polar solvent will have higher potency causing crystallization while the more polar solvents strips away the impurities. Terpenes and butane are a good example. I could be wrong, Im more of an extract artist than scientist lol

Had nothing else to do. Started with 10.25g of bho as a boredom experiment. Dissolved in acetone, filtered fats warm, then winterized. Solution is thoroughly winterized. Tossed about 300-400ml of solution in the roto, 30c water bath. As soon as I got to about 25 ml it seemed a bunch of shit crashed out almost instantly. Looked like unwinterizedsolution. Added a few ml of acetone and it went straight back to clear. Anyone had anything like this happen??? Very curious now⌠didnt take a pic of the âcrashâ.
Hereâs after a couple ml was added back.
